Ayyub Almani, [Ayyub the German], a German jihadist who appeared in Taliban videos warning that attacks in Germany would follow if Germans did not pressure their leaders to withdrawal from Afghanistan, was arrested by Austrian authorities in Vienna on May 31, 2011.

The media wing of Taifetul Mansura reported that Eric Breininger (AKA Abdul Gaffar the German) and Salahaddin Turki, an administrator of Elif Media, were killed in a clash in North Waziristan on April 30, 2010.

Elif Media, a jihadist media group, issued a Turkish translation of a lecture by al-Qaeda strategist Abu Musab al-Suri urging Muslims to embrace jihad and for those currently in the battlefield to not abandon it.
